Without a cd or floppy drive, your options are next to none..

Cause i know in windows xp you can boot in safemode and just log in as Admin and change whatever you want but in 2000 it still wants a password.

Yep.. If a password was set for the Administrators account, then you are S0L ..
Our ToS doesn't allow use to help anyone hack, crack or by-pass passwords..

Sorry, but you can't prove it is and I can't prove it isn't.. So, the ToS for the site says.. No help with passwords..

Do you know of any way of booting from a USB drive? Or do you think with this THinkbad i need teh docking station or something? Or maybe an IBM drive?

Can you get into BIOS??
If you can, then there may be an option to boot from USB..
Then you could install a USB hdd or floppy.. Reformat the drive and install whatever you wanted..

I enabled usb bios support ("USB FDD Boot is supported"). But the only choices in teh boot lineup are Removable Devices, ATAPI CD-Rom Drive, HardDrive, Networkboot, and Intel Boot Agent.
